Air-Con!...what`s that?..he he he...No buddy,it`s to make you perspire!!,adds to the tension.

But seriously,fairplay to everyone concerned,hope all the hardware and software are in sync.
A Scorpio too,if my knowledge of Astrology is correct and early enough so as to cause havoc when it comes to buying Birthday and Christmas presents.

You and your Missus have got your work cut out from now on in,I can tell you...he he he

Why?...don`t forget,men used to wear a corset years ago.

If you really want to see more corsets,you might want to hang around the entrance to Olympia friday through to sunday.

And don`t forget,Corsets fall into Burlesque as well as Goth.

Why get rid of your K10,unless it`s playing up?,if it is,why not get it serviced?.I`ve only got a K20 coz I did a silly thing and my K10D is badly wounded.If I can get it repaired then I`m going to keep it.Yes,I`m thinking of a 500mm lens but I stress "thinking" as I`m more into Airshows/Automotive/Transport and I`ve been quoted £550.

as for Ebay...treat it like a cobra!!.((I`ve had some bad experiences,albeit from Private vendors)

I like # 12,but then,that`s my sense of humour.

But on a serious note,I`d just like a plain and simple "Pentax" T Shirt,even if it is "free" advertising.

Slightly Off Photgraphic Topic here...but...Joe,somewhere I saw a website of "who not to fly with.

And,if Mr Fry is to be believed,Global Warming is caused by Greenhouse Gases,one of which is methane and the biggest producer of methane is/are.....Termites.

jack,what type of Cherry is it?

I tried joining that club once, but I got kicked out [/quote]Oh!,do tell...go on..you know you want to...ha ha ha

Flippin heck,at time of posting that`s got ot be about 10 (a metric dozen) of us who aren`t members of a Photomagraphical club.

Mongoose...trust you...he he he

Hey,Noddywithoutbigears,who`s first for nominating a Thread poster for a seat on t`Committee...ding ding ding.

Meet & Greeter???,I`ve been to a few of those venues...he he he

As for the only initial problems with clubs...um...I`m reminded of a local Ham Radio club,the old "Key" (morse) guys don`t like the new "wet behind the ears" members (most of us went to Ham in 1981 and hadn`t touched a Morse Key) and there`s always a guy with leather patches on his jacket who tries his best to make you feel welcome but has halitosis.However,I have to say that,after dropping my local Photographic Society an E Mail,I received an E Mail to "come along and see what you think",and you can`t say fairer than that,can you.

Nice link Mr IS,thank you,very eye opening.(excuse the reverse-pun)

Right,and here is where I might get shot down in flames...being a Newbie,how would aperture settings relate to the line at the bottom?

After reading your last Mongoose,I`m begining to wonder if the Tv advert that Olympus ran,with Messers Bailey & Cole all those years ago,did anything to encourage the grasp of SLR (at the time) photography...and thus the "Why can`t I get a shot like you see in the magazines" became a common statement.

IMHO,dSLR photography can be alot of fun,if you are prepared to,as a Newbie,experiment,develop your own skills,read and listen.

And without wishing to sound physiophantic(?),a Forum such as this is one way of learning and technoidiot has,for me,started an interesting thread....I`m still learning.

Nic

Right folks,just telephoned Asahi,they seem approachable and professional over the phone,so as I`m in London for a long weekend,I`m going to drop my K10 in and see what they say.

Just got to keep my fingers crossed now.
